Mr. Day submitted the following report : 



Washington D. C, January 27, 1912. 

To the Building Committee of the Inter-State Board of the Perry's 
Victory Centennial Commissioners : 

Gentlemen — I have the honor to report that after the issuance 
of the program for the Perry Memorial competition, all invited com- 
petitors were instructed as to the amendments approved by the Execu- 
tive Committee and as to final arrangements for submission of draw- 
ings, and their questions were answered in a series of five bulletins. 
A program with the bulletins attached is herewith submitted. 

While the drawings were being made, arrangements were per- 
fected, through the courtesy of the Smithsonian Institution, for the 
use of exhibition and committee rooms in the new National Museum. 

Before 12 : 00 noon January 20th, 1912, the time appointed for the 
receipt of the drawings, there had been received fifty-three sets of 
designs. The outer coverings were removed by the Museum authori- 
ties, and the designs, with their inner wrappings unbroken, were 
delivered to the exhibition rooms. They were there received by an 
officer representing the Commission of Fine Arts, who removed the 
inner wrappings and numbered the drawings, description and sealed 
envelope of each set with a number, identifying each as a component 
part of that set. The sealed envelopes were placed in the custody of 
Colonel Cosby and will there remain until a final decision as to the 
award of the prize and premiums has been reached. 

The drawings and descriptions were delivered to your adviser, 
who directed the hanging of them by a corps of men placed at his 
disposal by the authorities of the Museum. 

At 3: 18 P. M., January 20th, 1912, a belated package of drawings 
arrived. By order of the Building Committee these drawings were 
also hung. 

The Commission of Fine Arts visited the exhibition of designs on 
Thursday, Jan. 25th, and spent the whole of Friday, Jan 26th, in exam- 
ining and passing on the designs and in preparing its report, the Build- 
ing Committee being present during a part of this time. I have the 
honor, at the request of the Commission, to present you its report 
upon the merits of the designs submitted in competition. 

In closing this report I would direct the attention of the Building 
Committee to the very great services rendered by the Smithsonian 
Institution through its Assistant Secretary in charge of the new 
National Museum, Mr. Richard Rathbun, in providing for your use 
an adequate and dignified meeting place and exhibition gallery and in 
furnishing a large force of skilled assistants, without whose aid the 
receipt, handling and hanging of the more than two hundred and fifty 
drawings on exhibition would have been attended with much difficulty 
and expense. 

All of which is respectfully submitted : 

(Signed) FRANK MILES DAY, 
Adviser to the Building Committee.

Francis D. Millet, Cass Gilbert and Charles Moore, by Colonel Spencer 
Cosby, U. S. A., Secretary: 

Washington, D. C, January 27, 1912. 

To the Building Committee of the Inter-State Board of the Perry's 

Victory Centennial Commissioners: 

Gentlemen — Under the terms of the program of competition for 
the Perry Memorial, we beg to advise you as follows : 

We select design No. 5 as presenting the most satisfactory solu- 
tion of the problem, and we recommend that its author be appointed 
as architect. 

In making this selection we heartily commend the design for its 
great beauty and for its significant appropriateness as the memorial 
of both a victory in battle and a century of peace and friendship 
between two nations. The design indicates that its author is thor- 
oughly trained and has the skill and capacity to execute successfully 
the work to be entrusted to him. 

For the first premium we name design No. 17, which more nearly 
approaches the excellence of design No. 5, than any other in the com- 
petition. For the second and third premiums we name respectively 
designs No. 34 and 54. 

We hereby certify that designs No. 5, No. 17, No. 34 and No. 54 
comply with the mandatory requirements of the program. 

We have not found it necessary to ascertain whether each of the 
remaining designs complies with all these requirements, but we certify 
that two designs, namely, No. 1 and No. 21, have violated mandatory 
requirements. Even if designs No. 1 and No. 21 had not violated these 
requirements it would have made no difference in our advice to you, 
because neither of them approaches the standard of those considered 
for award. 

The number of designs submitted, and the serious study and 
effort proven by the variety of these designs and the quality of the 
technical execution of the drawings, indicate a widespread interest in 
the competition among the most capable architects of the country. 

By direction of the Commission of Fine Arts: 

(Signed) Respectfully 

SPENCER COSBY, 

Colonel U. S. Army, 

Secretary. 

On motion the report of the Commission of Fine Arts by its 
Secretary was ordered received and placed on file. 

General Miles submitted the draft of a report of the Building 
Committee to the Executive Committee relative to the competition 
for the Perry Memorial, and on motion the said report was thereupon 
unanimously adopted, signed and attested, as follows : 

Washington, D. C, January 29, 1912. 
To the Executive Committee of the Inter-State Board of the Perry's 

Victory Centennial Commissioners: 

Gentlemen — The Building Committee herewith hands you the 
following resolution, which it has unanimously adopted: 

Resolved, That the Building Committee of the Inter-State Board 
of the Perry's Victory Centennial Commissioners, after carefully 

5 



examining the drawings submitted in competition for the memorial, 
recommends to the Executive Committee that it accept the advice of 
the Commission of Fine Arts and award the prize of the competition 
to design No. 5 and thus appoint its author architect for the memorial : 
and that it award the first, second and third premiums to the authors 
of designs Nos. 17, 34 and 54 respectively. 

The Building Committee is of the opinion that design No. 5 is 
an admirable solution of the problem and that it will make a memorial 
in all ways worthy of the great event which it is to commemorate. 
Respectfully submitted :

dent General George H. Worthington, Secretary General Webster P. 
Huntington, Treasurer General A. E. Sisson, Auditor General Harry 
Cutler, United States Commissioners Lieutenant General Nelson

on file. 

Commissioner John M. Whitehead of Wisconsin presented the 
proxy of Executive Committeeman A. W. Sanborn, of the same state, 
and on motion it was accepted and ordered placed on file. 

The minutes of the previous meeting were read by the Secretary 
General and approved, on motion of Mr. Whitehead, seconded by Mr. 
Sisson. 

Chairman Sisson, of the Committee on Legislation, Promotion 
and Publicity, made a verbal report relative to the establishment of a 
bureau of public subscriptions and the engagement of Commissioner 
McKenzie R. Todd of Kentucky as Financial Secretary of the Inter- 
State Board, as disclosed by the minutes of a joint meeting of the 
committees on Legislation, Promotion and Publicity and on Centen- 
nial Celebration, held November 17th, 1911. 

6 



On motion of Mr. Cutler, seconded by Mr. Shreve, it was voted 
that the report of Chairman Sisson should be received and adopted. 

On behalf of the special committee appointed to investigate and 
report relative to concessions at Put-in-Bay Island, consisting of Com- 
missioner John H. Clarke of Ohio, Commissioner John J. Manning- of 
Ohio, and Secretary General Huntington, the latter reported that the 
committee as yet had not visited the Island but that assurances had 
been received indicating that action on their part could wisely be 
deferred until early Spring. On motion of Dr. Herrick, seconded by 
General Keifer, it was resolved that the committee should be 
continued. 

On behalf of the special committee of two consisting of United 
States Commissioner Keifer and Secretary General Huntington, the 
former reported progress relative to the suggestion to make the city 
of Sandusky the location of the annual encampment of the Grand 
Army of the Republic in 1913. General Keifer suggested that the 
committee should be given further time. On motion of Mr. Sisson, 
seconded by Mr. Manning, it was resolved that the committee should 
be continued. 

On behalf of the Commissioners representing the state of Rhode 
Island, Commissioner John P. Sanborn reported that the bill appro- 
priating $25,000 for the Perry Memorial and the proposed centennial 
celebration, had passed both branches of the legislature of that state 
and had been signed by the Governor. Thereupon the Rhode Island 
Commissioners were informally congratulated by all present. 

Chairman Worthington announced the presence of Mr. Denny B. 
Goode, representing the Chamber of Commerce and Convention and 
Publicity League of Louisville, Ky., and suggested that he be given 
a hearing. 

The suggestion was informally agreed to. 

Mr. Goode advised the committee of the interest manifested in 
the city of Louisville in behalf of a local celebration of the centennial 
anniversary of Perry's Victory, the Battle of the Thames and the 
events of the War of 1812, which had taken the form of a request 
from the Chamber of Commerce to the Executive Committee of the 
Perry's Victory Centennial for the co-operation of the Inter-State 
Board in whatever local celebration might be determined upon by the 
citizens of Louisville, preferably to be held during the week of October 
5th, 1913. 

On motion of Mr. Manning, seconded by Dr. Herrick, it was 
resolved that the civil authorities and civic and industrial organiza- 
tions of Louisville, and the citizens thereof in general, should be 
assured of the co-operation of the Inter-State Board in whatever local 
celebration they might determine upon, and that an agreement as to 
a satisfactory date should be recommended by the Executive Com- 
mittee to the representatives of the city of Louisville and the joint 
committees on Legislation, Promotion and Publicity and on Centen- 
nial Celebration, acting together. 

Secretary General Huntington offered the following resolution 
and moved its adoption, and, the motion being seconded by General 
Miles, it was unanimously adopted :

Whereas, the National Society United States Daughters of the 
War of 1812, State of Ohio, made application to the Governor of 
Ohio for the proper recognition of that organization by the Ohio 
Commissioners of the Perry's Victory Centennial prior to the organi- 
zation of the Inter-State Board, but said application until the present 
time was never communicated to the Ohio Commissioners or to the 
Inter-State Board ; and 

Whereas, many if not all of the states participating in the centen- 
nial celebration and the erection of the Perry memorial have state 
societies of the said National organization of the Daughters of the 
War of 1812; therefore 

Be it resolved, that the Inter-State Board of the Perry's Victory 
Centennial Commissioners hereby acknowledges the suggestion of the 
said Ohio society looking to its participation in the Perry's Victory 
Centennial as being valuable and deserving acceptance. 

Resolved, that this committee hereby recommends that the Pres- 
ident of the said Ohio society shall communicate with the various 
branches of the national society of the Daughters of the War of 1812 
in the states participating in the centennial enterprise, with a view 
to their appropriate co-operation therein, along such lines as may be 
agreed upon by the representatives of said societies and this com- 
mittee. 

Chairman Worthington, for the Building Committee, instructed 
the Secretary to offer the minutes of the meetings of that committee 
of January 26th and 29th, 1912, as a report to the Executive Com- 
mittee relative to the conclusions of the Building Committee in refer- 
ence to the competition for the Perry memorial. 

On motion of Mr. Cutler, seconded by General Keifer, the report 
of the Building Committee as read by the Secretary was received 
and referred to the Inter-State Board. 

Thereupon, on motion, the meeting adjourned.

The President General stated that the first order of business 
would be the reference to the Inter-State Board of the report of the 
Building Committee as submitted to the Executive Committee, relat- 
ing to the competition for the Perry Memorial. 

On motion of Mr. Sisson, seconded by Mr. Emerson, it was unan- 
imously resolved that the said report should be received and filed, and 
that in pursuance thereof the author of design No. 5 is hereby selected 
as the architect of the memorial, the cost of which shall be determined 
by the Building Committee acting in conjunction with the Executive 
Committee. 

On motion of Mr. Shreve, seconded by Mr. Parker, it was unan- 
imously resolved that the three premiums as provided for in the pro- 
gram of competition for the Perry Memorial issued by the Building 
Committee be awarded as recommended by the Commission of Fine 
Arts and the Building Committee. 

On motion of Mr. Clarke, seconded by General Miles, the Board 
recessed until 3 : 00 o'clock. 

At that hour the Board reconvened in the same place. 

The President General announced the presence of Colonel Spen- 
cer Cosby, U. S. A., Secretary of the Commission of Fine Arts, and 
thereupon introduced Colonel Cosby to the assembled Commissioners. 

At the conclusion of a few appropriate remarks Colonel Cosby 
presented to President General Worthington the sealed envelopes 
containing the names of the architects designated by numbers as the 
authors of the four prizes recommended by the Commission of Fine 
Arts and the Building Committee, under the terms of the program of 
competition. 

The President General thereupon opened the envelopes and dis- 
closed the following names of the winners :

lander and A. D. Seymour, Jr., 244 Fifth Avenue, New York City, 
authors of design No. 5.

author of design No. 34; 

Third premium, Dillon, McLellan & Beadel, 1123 Broadway, New

Mr. Day suggested the advisability of certain resolutions of 
thanks to be tendered to those who had contributed to the success of 
the present meetings. 

On motion of Mr. Clarke, seconded by Mr. Todd, the following 
resolution was unanimously adopted : 

Resolved, that the hearty thanks of the Inter-State Board of the 
Perry's Victory Centennial Commissioners be and they are hereby 
tendered to the Commission of Fine Arts for acting as an advisory 
jury in the award of the competition for the Perry memorial. The 
Board is deeply sensible of the weight of its indebtedness to the Com- 
mission for its expert and disinterested services in selecting the 
several designs named in its report ; and the Board is happy to inform 
the Commission that it has ratified that report by making all awards 
in consonance with the advice given therein.

On motion of Mr. Whitehead, seconded by Mr. Winkler, the fol- 
lowing resolution was unanimously adopted : 

Resolved, that the Inter-State Board of the Perry's Victory Cen- 
tennial Commissioners, realizing- the deep interest shown by the archi- 
tects who have participated in the competition for the Perry Memorial 
and the value of the services performed by them, extends its hearty 
thanks to them for having enabled it to make choice of an architect 
through the medium of so many varied and admirable solutions of the 
problem. The Board regrets that by the very nature of the case it 
is unable to requite the competitors in ways that would fully express 
its obligation to them. 

On motion of Mr. Shreve, seconded by Mr. Bohmrich, the follow- 
ing resolution was unanimously adopted : 

Resolved, That the Inter-State Board of the Perry's Victory 
Centennial Commissioners hereby expresses its thanks to the Secre- 
tary and Regents of the Smithsonian Institution and to Mr. Richard 
Rathbun, Assistant Secretary in charge of the new National Museum, 
for the admirable exhibition and meeting rooms placed at the disposal 
of the Executive Committee and Inter-State Board and for the courte- 
sies accorded to them on the occasion of the judgment of the compe- 
tition for the Perry Memorial ; and, further, that the thanks of the 
Board be extended to Superintendent Goldsmith, of the Museum, 
for the great assistance he and the staff under him have rendered on 
this same occasion. 

On motion of Mr. Sisson, seconded by Admiral Symonds, the 
Secretary General was authorized and directed to telegraph the con- 
gratulations of the Building Committee and Inter-State Board to the 
architects successful in the competition. 

On motion of Dr. Herrick, seconded by Judge Wilson, Financial 
Secretary Todd and Secretary General Huntington were designated 
a committee of two to provide for the copyright protection of design 
No. 5, in the name of the Perry's Victory Centennial Commission. 

On motion of Mr. Whitehead, seconded by Mr. Bohmrich, the 
President General and Secretary General were instructed to communi- 
cate the thanks of the Inter-State Board to the competitors who had 
made the exhibit of designs of the Perry memorial so notably suc- 
cessful. 

General Miles addressed the Chair on the subject of the historic 
interest of Gibraltar Island and its appropriateness as the site of the 
Perry Memorial in case events should point to its final selection rather 
than to the retention of the site already acquired, and concluded by 
offering the following resolution : 

Resolved, that, if it be found upon thorough and careful examina- 
tion, the proposed site of the Perry's Victory monument is imprac- 
ticable, unsuitable and therefore undesirable, and if it be found that a 
suitable site on Gibraltar Island can be had at a reasonable figure, 
then the Executive Committee is hereby authorized to acquire it and 
to construct the monument thereon. 

A general discussion followed. 

Mr. Johannsen moved to amend the resolution by inserting after 
the words "Gibraltar Island" the words "or elsewhere on Put-in-Bay 
Island." General Miles accepted the amendment and moved the 

10 



adoption of the resolution, and, the motion being seconded by Mr. 
Sanborn of Rhode Island, it was unanimously adopted. 

On motion of Mr. Sisson, seconded by General Miles, a vote of 
thanks was tendered to Mr. Frank Miles Day for the able and efficient 
manner in which he had discharged the duties of architectural adviser 
to the Building Committee. 

Judge Wilson offered the following resolution: 

Resolved, that the Executive Committee or some subsidiary com- 
mittee of the Inter-State Board be designated by the Executive Com- 
mittee at once to consider and make report on the following matters, 
viz. : 

First. Whether the site of the Perry memorial be finally located 
on Put-in-Bay Island or be secured on Gibraltar Island. 

Second. Its conclusion as to the design for the Perry Memorial, 
suitable to the events commemorated and commensurate with our 
means, which should finally be adopted. 

Third. To what extent utilitarian features should be incorporated 
in the memorial. 

Fourth. How much shall be spent on the memorial and how 
much on the celebration, of the funds appropriated and hereafter to be 
appropriated. 

Fifth. How much shall be spent in ornamentation. 

Sixth. In taking this action to confer with the architect of the 
memorial and members of the various Commissions participating. 

Judge Wilson moved that the resolution be referred to the Execu- 
tive Committee, and, the motion being seconded by Dr. Neff, it was 
so referred. 

Mr. Clarke offered the following resolution and moved its adop- 
tion, and, the motion being seconded by Mr. Winkler, it was unani- 
mously adopted. 

Resolved, that the Building Committee be and it is hereby 
authorized to employ such advice and assistance and to enter into 
such contract as in its judgment may be necessary or desirable for 
the construction of the Perry Memorial within the limit of cost to be 
determined by the Executive Committee, the expenditure of which 
sum is hereby approved by this Board. 

On motion of Mr. Emerson, seconded by Mr. Johannsen, the 
meeting adjourned.
